I have configured three Advanced App Clip experiences on TestFlight, and these reflect launching my App Clip from an NFC tag or QR code.

However after launching one of these advanced experiences, there is no way to then launch the App Clip from the device drawer as it will be possible to do in production.

How can I test my default App Clip launch experience either via TestFlight or using Local Experiences, or some other way?

Safari's Smart App Banner and sharing via Messages is only available when the app clip is published in the App Store.

What do you mean by "published" does the app linked to the appclip needs to be published as well or publishing on TestFlight is good enough ?

I'm trying to test the sms sharing feature before publishing.

Thank you in advance for your help

Dragna,

Yes. Unfortunately, you have to fully published the parent app to the App Store, and only then you can test Smart App Banner.
